Stand Up 2 Cancer PSA: A good use of Young Hollywood

A star-studded new PSA promoting this year’s fundraising Stand Up to Cancer telecast (Sept. 10, 8 p.m. ET, on 14 networks) is effective, both in terms of hammering home what the odds are that we will get cancer in our lifetime (1 in 2 men, 1 in 3 women), and making me feel old. There are two young stars that I did not recognize. Thank goodness I’m up on my Spider-Man 4 casting, or it would have been three. Watch the promo below. Visit standup2cancer.org for more information and to donate.

    It is a nicely done PSA but it also confirms my paranoia about cancer. Sheesh, let’s get some smart people on this!

      My mother and my sister both have cancer right now. It’s not paranoia.

  • Tookie

    Good way of getting the message across!

    • Tookie

      And I am the one of one in three women.

    I have a feeling that’s Zac’s normal face when he’s trapped on an elevator full of ladies – wondering how long he has before he’s ambushed ;)

    • Yea

      He rolled his eyes. A guy that rolls their eyes when stuck on an elevator with girls is probably gay. Dunno why you girls don’t realize this yet. The dude is batting for the same team. I guess that’s why girls pine over him so much.

    Great PSA. Wow.

    I usually don’t jump on the paranoia bus either, but my wife has cancer, been in remission for almost 9 months now. People whom I went to high school have cancer, some survivors, some dead. I live in a small metropolis in America, these odds have to be true otherwise I shouldn’t know many people who have cancer but I do.

    I stood up to Cancer and nothing happened. How about donating to research

  • caitlyn

    Yay, Cancer awareness! But also yay for some underrated young actors like Logan Lerman getting a shout out! Love him!

    Nice ad.

    You have a higher chance of catching a baseball than you do of cutting yourself shaving? Time to go to more baseball games
